Spring into action
Where next?
Though we only have one more event left this season (at Blackborough on Sat 18 May), there's still lots of action over the next two months, listed below.
These include events very nearby in Devon, on the Mendips and also Dorset.
Swansea Bay Weekend
Low key but technical!
A gem of a summer festival, hosted by another small club Swansea Bay OC.
What areas Swansea Bay boast. Fiendish dunes test the technical skills but relaxing on the wonderful beaches adjacent is a just reward for your efforts.
JK 2019
Easter Weekend

The JK
Easter weekends
The Jan Kjellstrom International Festival of Orienteering (or the JK for short) is held every year somewhere in the UK over the long Easter weekend. It has proved popular with a nucleus of QO members over the years and some have had a great deal of success in it.
Springtime in Shropshire
Late May Bank Holiday
This relaxed three-day festival is held on the late May bank holiday biannually, and in odd numbered years only. It has a pleasant holiday atmosphere.

League analysis
Who's in the running for the trophies? The league tables have begun to take shape but with two QOFLs left, even those who've ran just once so far have a chance. So early pacesetters are best to keep on showing up to defend their lead!
